METHODS: Specimens collected from the lower respiratory tract of 195 CAP patients, viruses were measured by the Single-plex real-time PCR assay and the conventional culture method was exploited for bacteria. It is difficult to distinguish the cause of CAP induced by flu, other respiratory viruses or bacteria based solely on clinical symptoms, and the conventional lab biomarkers of viral and/or bacterial infections do not differ in influenza-positive compared with influenza-negative patients [6] . In the hospital, viral testing among patients with respiratory symptoms is uncommon [14] , and the determination of the microbiological etiology is severely hampered in CAP by the difficulty of obtaining specimens from the infected area (esp. influenza, as co-pathogens, often seem to be part of a mixed infection (virus and bacterium) in adults with CAP [26] , representing the most common combination with respiratory viruses [2] .	./cache/cord-268553-2o4k24og.txt	./txt/cord-268553-2o4k24og.txt
